Time to look back in order to look ahead. Or not, considering how awful 2016 was.

2016 was rough. Thanks to social media, it felt like one beloved and/or influencial public figure after another left us in a continuous stream throughout the year. Even for those of us not experiencing death personally, there were other things that hit hard, like the US election and other events. I am still upset on behalf of the 1/3 of my immediate co-workers who were downsized out of their jobs this fall.

I think we all need good news moving forward, so that's my wish for all of us: That 2017 heals the hurts of 2016 and gives us good news.
